Emotional intelligence (EI) is a fundamental skill related to different aspects of human
life, such as psychological well-being or mood states. The present study has a triple objective:
first, to explore the psychometric properties of the TMMS-24 in three Spanish-speaking countries
(Argentina, Ecuador, and Spain); second, to examine the relation of EI with mood and avoidance of
responsibility; and finally, to analyse the influence of sex, age and national differences on EI. The
relevance of this study is given by the need for tools to assess EI in different cultures. A sample of
1048 adults (Mage = 21.11 years, SD = 5.84; 52.3% male) was selected by convenience sampling. The
psychometric properties of the TMMS-24 were adequate, and the Spanish sample showed lower levels
of EI than the Argentinian and Ecuadorian ones. EI was associated with mood and the avoidance
of responsibility, with higher levels in women in all cases. Regarding the national and sex-specific
differences, the Spanish sample showed significant differences in attention and repair, with men
exhibiting higher scores in attention and women having higher scores in repair. In the Argentinean
sample, no significant differences were found, and in the Ecuadorian one, women presented higher
scores in attention than men. The TMMS-24 can be considered a useful, practical tool to assess EI in
adults in different cultures and with different languages. [-]
